I really enjoy watching both of these fighters perform, but goddamn, that eyepoke was extremely frustrating from a fan's perspective. Clearly it affected Glover's vision and therefore his performance, the exact extent to which we will never know for certain. Once again we are robbed from a fair competition and possibly the course of title contention in the light heavyweight division has been unfairly altered. Gus looked great and his uppercut, and later in the fight, his combos, looked sharp and obviously effective. However, the question remains, how much of that was enabled by the eyepoke? Gus should have been deducted a point. This outstretched fingers to the face bs has got to stop and until fighters get penalized appropriately, it will continue. How unfortunate for Glover and us mma fans.
